Sillwood Armchair

The line between the classic and the modern is one we at Rume very much enjoy blurring. We pride ourselves on making timeless sofas and chairs, pieces of furniture that look just as fabulous in a warehouse apartment as in a more traditional home.The Sillwood is a perfect case in point, a disciplined square body but with piped cushions and a timber underframe which combine to give it a lovely understated period ambiguity. Of course how your arm chair is ultimately perceived is determined by your choice of fabric and the Sillwood is consummate at wearing it well, whether you want it praised immediately for its colourful personality or noticed and admired later for its unassuming beauty it is up to you. It looks marvelous when placed with others of its design but also has an adaptability that allows it to sit harmoniously with almost any other well proportioned chair or sofa, especially if it is one of ours.

Rume chairs are not available to purchase online for good reason. We build them one at a time from scratch to the highest possible standard, to the individual specification of our clients, in our Sussex workshops. Our chairs are an exceptional blend of tradition and innovation with frames from first grade beech with glued, screwed and dowelled joints and with upholstery employing the finest modern materials and techniques. We design and make beautiful timeless furniture that is built to last and as such represents good value for money. If you are interested in our chairs and unable to visit our Hove showroom then why not contact us and we can advise and quickly provide you with a quotation. Based on your preferences we will then send you a range of fabric, leather or timber samples and guide you through the process of final selection by correspondence. Lead times are approximately ten weeks and we can deliver anywhere within the United Kingdom and abroad.
